Just tried to sign up on the Optus site by validating my details.
Screen just proceeds to an Optus Business Bundle page after hitting validate button.
Perhaps Airbnb should have create the web portal for them.

At this point, doesn't appear to be working.

  Worked fine for me, after validating my details I did get a coupon code.

    Just wondering if you can combine the $28 travel credit from reference with this $50 AirBNB optus promo
    Will it work?

  For anyone else experiencing issues, the message i was getting was
  
  "Hmmm. The details you've entered don't match what we have in our system. Please check you have entered the Account holder details correctly.
  Click here for more information or chat now."
  
  Contacted Optus chat and they told me this……
  
  Bradz P:Thank you for all the details Paul. I will check the account now. May I ask for just 3 minutes or less please ?
  You:3 mins wow
  You:sure
  Bradz P:Thank you :)
  Bradz P:Thanks for your patience Paul..
  Bradz P:May I know what is the error you are getting ?
  You:Hmmm. The details you've entered don't match what we have in our system. Please check you have entered the Account holder details correctly. Click here for more information or chat now.
  Bradz P:Ohh, I see..
  Bradz P:Just need you to register to AirBnB with the Email address and Date of Birth..
  You:not following you….
  You:the optus page doesn't ask for any Airbnb details
  Bradz P:You need to Register to AirBnB first before you redeem the the voucher..
  You:I don't have any voucher!
  Bradz P:Nope, It is you have to Register to AirBnB..
  You:Hang on - the optus page asks for my optus details…then I expect to be given a voucher I can use to claim against airbnb…..
  You:nowhere does optus page ask for any airbnb login name etc….
  Bradz P:Yeah that's correct..
  Bradz P:You need to Login to AirBNB with their Website..
  Bradz P:Then you can redeem the voucher with Optus..
  
  Can somone else explain how they got this voucher and if they did it via the optus site (link above) or airbnb, because I'm about to say something unpleasant to this support individual…

    See t&cs given by OP:
    
    'Valid only for registered Airbnb users in Australia who have never completed a booking on Airbnb.'
    
    Seems you may have to register with Airbnb before trying to get the code via Optus. They may crosscheck account info(?)

DJ-Studd on 26/10/2015 - 21:33

Optus website seems to hang on a circular waiting glass when I try to verify the number, and no SMS is received. Anybody else experiencing the same thing?
- hello007 on 28/10/2015 - 10:57
  
  Exactly the issue I have experienced.
  
  Tried everything imaginable.
  
  Laptop, different browsers etc
  
  Contacted optus on chat and call centre.
  
  They don't even have a way to contact whoever owns/manages this promotion.
  
  Just hit dead ends and no solutions anywhere.
  
  Total and complete lack of organisation by a marketing team that does not have the faintest clue on how to run a promotion like this.

Another use for the 4 $12 Optus Prepaids I got for Netflix.

Total disaster so far

Enter details.

All it does it just hang on the screen and does not send the sms code to mobile.

Optus Pre paid here

Nothing wrong with phone or service.

Receiving SMS from other mobiles.

Online chat team refers me to telephone customer service.

Customer service transfers me to technical support.

Technical support says you need to talk to Customer Service.

No one has a clue how to fix the problem.

Just a cat chasing it's tail disaster.

Would welcome advice from any Wizard out there who can solve this problem.

Not good look for AirBnB and Optus brands.

Was trying to get this to work the other day. Entered details a few times and checked everything and could not validate. :/
hello007 on 27/10/2015 - 21:30

Its a total joke.

Optus customer service is completely useless.

No one knows how to activate this offer.

Total Misleading and deceptive scam.

Just unbelievable that they can get away with this bait and switch advertising.

FYI this works twice if you have a homephone + broadband bundle (use the username and phone number separately). Obviously you will need two new airbnb accounts
ian1095 on 02/11/2015 - 13:22

Anyone has a spare code they are not going to use? Thanks
defined on 03/11/2015 - 16:37

Hopeless, I tried to register using my optus home phone number and got an error message "Trial exceeded, contact Chat Now".

I also tried registering under my broadband username and got the error message "Account details not found on the system, if you are new customer check again in 48 hours" - that was over a week ago since I first tried.

I contacted Chat Now and they couldn't help and told me to go to the nearest Optus Shop. I somewhat doubt anyone in an Optus Store can help.
RedCarpet on 04/11/2015 - 10:45

Hopeless Optus offer.

Tried that but no success.

Hopeless & helpless Optus helpdesk support - bounced you around from Optus AirBnB team to technical to Sales (even trying to flog you another postpaid service) to anyway wasting all your time!

Heard from their helpdesk team member that lots of customers are having the same problems as mine - account/ details not recognise when I've a valid number and still making and receiving calls!
Bell4510 on 04/11/2015 - 16:38

Thanks for sharing. 😃

If any one is not planning to use their code, would you mind getting the code and passing it on ?

Hi guys,

I just asked the optus mod alistar and he gave me a optus $50 code for first stay which is OPTUS_EEJZY. Hope it helps

I have tried all possible ways. First error message is
Oops! We're unable to locate your details in our system. If you're a new customer, it may take up to 48 hours after activation for your details to be updated.

Now I am getting a message that I have already reached the limit.

I Called optus and they know nothing about this airbnb. Hopeless Optus customer service.

Does any one have any unused codes.?
- rodinthink on 18/11/2015 - 20:46
  
  and you are optus / airbnb staff?
DilanDS on 10/11/2015 - 14:44

Worked and booked, thanks.
grover77 on 11/11/2015 - 22:08

I have tried to use the code on a trip that came to exctly $100AUD, but it came up with error "Code requires trip to cost at least $100AUD" I have asked te host to bump the price up by $1 and I will try again…
Yanoflies on 02/12/2015 - 10:21

Does this actually need to be the first ever booking on the account?

I've never stayed at a Airbnb place yet, but have already booked two places for my trip to Nihon.

Coupon expires 29th February 2016.

  Yep, looks like the offer has been extended / duplicated. Just used it successfully a few minutes back.
ChronoSphinx on 29/02/2016 - 16:51

I don't have an Optus account…Can someone help out with a code? Would be very grateful!
bsus20 on 19/05/2016 - 13:07

How long does the email take to come through up signing up?

This was posted 9 years 29 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
